What is the terrain response system in a Land Rover LR2?
The Terrain Response system is a patented system from Land Rover. The system can sense and recognize multiple terrains and adjust the vehicle’s systems automatically to match the terrain. Once the driver chooses a mode, the system reconfigures transmission, traction, and suspension settings appropriate to navigate that specific terrain. This system increases driver confidence while driving in tough terrains. Also, the driver can manually switch off the terrain response system if necessary.
